Bye Bye Mohawk

Whitney was born with a mohawk:

and for a while the only part of her hair that seemed to grow was the "mohawk" part:(these two pictures almost made me cry as I looked back at them - Whitney was so sick when these pictures were taken... we do not have very many pictures of her from the first few months of her life because she was just so sick, it was hard to take pictures because these were not the memories I wanted to save! We are so lucky that she is even here with us now... wait until you see the pictures of her now, without her mohawk, she looks SO HEALTHY!!! :)

Anne even would say, "Mama, I kissed her on her mohawk":

This is where her mohawk was 'kickin' (as Mike would say):

Then her mohawk grew so much that it flopped over and began to curl a little:

On Sunday, I cut her mohawk and now all that remains is bright blonde fuzzy hair:

About Me

We (Mike & Laura) have two beautiful daughters: Anne, age 5 and Whitney, age 3. We decided to "blog" as a way to let our family and friends know the latest news about our family. We found out when Whitney was born that she has Down syndrome and a complete AV canal heart defect. Whitney had successful open-heart surgery on 12-1-08. We hope you enjoy our adventures, "up, down and all around!"
